Tiny devices levitated by sunlight could transform atmospheric research

Tiny devices propelled by sunlight have been tested for the first time in conditions akin to those in Earths upper atmosphere, potentially revolutionizing atmospheric science. These lightweight membranes are made of aluminum oxide and a layer of chromium and utilize a phenomenon known as photophoresis, where the difference in temperature on either side of the [] The post Tiny devices levitated by sunlight could transform atmospheric research appeared first on Techpinions.
